Rifkin Dental Group

Financial Options

Our goal is to provide the best possible dental care for each individual in a way that respects the emotional and financial needs of our patients. We feel that dental care should only be provided when there is a clear understanding regarding fees and payment. We will give you an estimate of costs required in advance of treatment so that you can come prepared for each visit.

We have set up the following financial options:

  1. Advance Payment: Payment of your entire treatment plan in advance qualifies you for a prepay courtesy. The full amount of your estimate has to be paid 48 hours in advance by cash, check, or credit card (Master Card, Visa, American Express, or Discover).
  2. Dental Insurance Plans: We will bill your insurance company for payment under these guidelines. It is important for you to know that our professional services are rendered and charged directly to you, not an insurance company. We work 100% for you, not for them. This type of payment is called an Assignment of Benefits. Depending on the type of service, and type of Dental Carrier, insurance may pay 100%, 80%, 50%, or none of your treatment. We can provide you with estimates of what they may pay, however it is not a guarantee of payment. We urge you to be fully aware of the provisions of your dental co-payment policy. You will be responsible for your co-payment (if any) at the time of service. We will file your dental claim if we can confirm your coverage in advance, but all charges for that claim will be payable by you if your insurance company has failed to make their payment within 90 days of being properly billed.
  3. 3rd Party Financing: We offer outside financing companies in which Dr. Rifkin will pay the interest on a payment plan for up to 12 months! These plans also have the ability to extend up to 60 months long, making payments as affordable as possible for you. You must have approval prior to scheduling treatment. We currently use Care Credit. You can apply on-line by clicking on the link to Care Credit, or you can come in to the office, and one of our receptionists can help you sign up there.
